Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

日军在福冈东线迟迟打不开局面，位于福冈西线的第2师、第3师和第33师则乘机进攻日军左翼，在鹿儿岛登陆的林远部队第23师、第46师和第47师也挥师北上，与日军第6师团正面交锋。

The time came to 22 o'clock in the morning on July [-], and the battles in the three battlefields were still stalemate, especially the Japanese army on the left wing. They also knew that if the left wing could not withstand the attack of Lin Yuan's army, the entire army would be wiped out, so everyone tried their best With all his strength, when he ran out of bullets, he used a suicide attack to resist Lin Yuan's troops.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, Lin Yuan called Xiao Yingwu's headquarters and asked, "How is the battle going?"

Xiao Yingwu replied: "On the western front: our troops have successfully defeated the 5th division of the Japanese army, and are now outflanking the Japanese left flank. However, the Japanese army's resistance is very tenacious, and our attack has no effect for a while; Stalemate!"

Lin Yuan asked, "What about the 23rd, 46th, and 47th Divisions in the south?"

Xiao Yingwu replied: "They were intercepted by the 6th Division of the Japanese Army in Kumamoto County, and they were unable to outflank the Japanese Army. Moreover, these three divisions were often harassed by local people's armed forces, so they had to divide their troops to resist them. The progress of the battle was not smooth. .”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Order the left attacking force and the three southern divisions to temporarily stop attacking."

Xiao Yingwu asked in surprise: "Shuai Lin, why did you stop attacking?"

Lin Yuan said: "It will be dawn in more than two hours. When it is dawn, we will drop the 32nd Air Cavalry Division between the 6th Division and the 1st Division. The 1st Division, attack the 6th Division southward, the 6th Division's battle after a night is definitely not enough to block the attack of the 32nd Air Cavalry Division!"

Xiao Yingwu said: "But the air cavalry division is our strategic force, isn't it too early to use it now?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Now is the most critical moment of the battle. This strategic force must be used now! Order them to be ready to act at any time."

Xiao Yingwu agreed, and immediately issued orders to the 2nd, 3rd, and 33rd Divisions on the left wing, and the troops immediately stopped attacking. Nogi Nozomi was very excited when he heard the news, and personally called the 101st Division headquarters. , Said: "The Lin Yuan troops in front of you have stopped attacking, and counterattack immediately."

The head of the 101st Division said helplessly to Nogi Nozomi: "General, our troops have suffered heavy casualties, and we have no energy to counterattack."

Nogi Xidian said angrily: "Aren't you fighting defensively? Why are there so many casualties?"

The head of the division said: "General, although we are in a defensive operation, the artillery fire of Lin Yuan's troops is very fierce, and with the cooperation of the main artillery tanks, we cannot avoid being killed by bullets even if we hide in the trenches, so our casualties are very high." big!"

Nogi Xidian said: "Okay, you guys should rest where you are first, in case Lin Yuan's troops attack again."

The Japanese army stood still and did not counterattack. At 22 o'clock in the morning on July 6, the sky was already bright. After two hours of preparation, the air cavalry division flew to the battlefield by transport plane. This time they entered the battlefield by parachuting from high altitude. After entering the battlefield Then he launched an attack on the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army.

The 6th Division did not expect that there would be troops attacking from behind them. They were caught off guard by the Air Cavalry Division for a while, and the line of defense was torn in many places. The 6th Division immediately asked Nogi Noki for help: "Report to the general , our defense line has been torn apart by Lin Yuan's troops in many places, please send reinforcements quickly to plug the gaps in our defense line."

At this time, Nogi Noki had no choice but to order the 102nd Division to return to Kumamoto to reinforce the 6th Division, but it was too late. The 6th Division, like the 5th Division, was a unit returning from North Korea. At that point, the 6th Division collapsed across the board, and more than half of the Japanese troops surrendered.

The rear of Lin Yuan's army was also unstable, and he had no ability to accommodate these prisoners of war. So he confiscated the weapons of the prisoners of war, sent them away on the spot, and then launched an attack on the Japanese army in Fukuoka. Lin Yuan was also worried that the three southern divisions would not have enough troops. So the 24th Division, 48th Division, and 49th Division stationed in Ningbo were mobilized to fight.

However, it took nearly a day for these three troops to reach the battlefield. In fact, it was the troops dispatched previously that worked, and these troops immediately besieged the Japanese army.

After Xiao Yingwu received the notification from the southern troops, he immediately ordered all the troops to counterattack across the board. At this time, the two elite troops, the First Independent Brigade and the Second Independent Brigade, also joined the battle to support Lin Yuan's troops on the western front of Fukuoka. Attack on the left flank of the Japanese army.

The troops on the left wing would soon be overwhelmed. Nogi Nozomi picked up the phone, contacted the troops on the other side of the Seto Inland Sea, and said, "Send reinforcements here immediately!"

The captain of the transportation team replied helplessly: "General, we also want to send troops there, but there is Lin Yuan's brand-new fleet at sea, and our ships were sunk by them! And they sent troops to occupy Xiaguan last night. More and more armed gunboats have also entered the Seto Inland Sea, and our transport ships have no chance."

Nogi Xidian reluctantly put down the phone, and said to Nogi Xidian: "Lin Yuan's troops are not afraid of the threat of submarines at all, or they already know that our submarines are completely wiped out."

Mizuki Nagata said helplessly: "General, what shall we do then? The troops on the left wing will soon be overwhelmed."

Nogi Nozomi didn't speak, Mizuki Nagata said: "General, I think it's better to let the troops break up into pieces, enter the villages and towns, and attack Lin Yuan's troops flexibly. After all, this is our land, and the people will definitely protect us."

Nogi Xidian shook his head and said: "If you break it up into parts, you will be in danger of being defeated by Lin Yuan's concentrated superior forces!"

Mizuki Nagata said: "But it is useless for us to concentrate our forces. There is no place for us in the entire Kyushu Island. There is Lin Yuan's mysterious fleet in the Seto Inland Sea, and we have nowhere to retreat!"

Nogi Xidian frowned in thought, walked to the front of the map, pointed at the map with his hand, and said, "Is there no Lin Yuan army in Oita County?"

Mizuki Nagata said: "That's right, Lin Yuan's troops did not appear in Oita County."

Nogi Nozomi said: "Well, order the ministries to move in the direction of Oita Prefecture and enter Oita Prefecture to stick to it." Japan's "county" is equivalent to a province in China. Oita County has a large area and a large population, enough to accommodate large Japanese troops. In addition, Oita County is located in a mountainous area. If the Japanese army hid in Oita County, it would be really difficult for Lin Yuan's troops to wipe them out in a short time.
